Friday Mashup #2-Sketch and Colour

Friday is here!  That means a brand new challenge for the Friday Mashup!!  The Friday Mashup has a great challenge for you this week!  There is a cool, versatile sketch from Kathy and some awesome colours from Holly. 

Remember, with the Friday Mashup challenge, we encourage you to play with one or both of the challenges listed each week! 

This week you could:

1. Use the colours-Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake
2. Use the sketch
3. Or use both the colours and the sketch together, like I did and Mash it up!

Here is my card!  Can you see the technique I tried?  I decided to try watercolouring for the first time!  I actually purchased the Watercolour Paper from the SU! catalogue and I love it!  I couldn't believe the difference using that paper.  I also used my markers and an Aqua Painter.  The ladies in my Card Club will be learning how to watercolour with me in May!  I am so excited!

I hope you get the chance to head on over to the Friday Mashup and join us for our fun challenge this week!  I am looking forward to seeing what you create!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Colour Dare CAS

Tonight I was inspired to play along with the gals at the Colour Dare.  They have an intriguing colour combo this week...

Cherry Cobbler

Marina Mist

Basic Gray

These colours are so unusual together and right away I thought of a boy's birthday card but after several attempts, I just couldn't make that work!  So then I decided to go simple...clean and simple!  I have wanted to ink up my "Friends 24/7" set for a while...I finally bought it last month, after years of borrowing it from a friend.  It is my all time favourite set and I knew I had to have it! So here is my Clean and Simple take on the colours this week...nothing "groundbreaking" but I am happy.  I think this will be a nice card for my stash!!!

I thought about embossing or stamping the background of the card but I decided to let it be!  I used my Blender Pens to colour the flowers, the stems are coloured with the blender pen and gray ink.  Maybe I should have coloured the flowers Cherry Cobbler?  I will have to try that next time.

Thank you for stopping by!

Stamper's 6 Club Project

This is a card I made for my Stamper's 6 Club. We made this card and a matching bag with tag combo. It was fun to play with this set called Friends 24-7. (113218)

I used Rich Razzleberry, Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink as well as Whisper White paper. The Background stamp I used was En Francais and I sponged everything in Razzleberry.

Thanks for stopping by!
